The way I go to school is like hell in the morning during rush hour. Its bumper to bumper, and if I you try to slow down to give yourself room people will just full the spot right away. People weave in and out and ride your ass, definitely not ideal driving conditions.

Anyway, the guy in front of me had to slam on his brakes when somebody slowed down to turn left, and barely stopped before without hitting them. My vehicle being much heavier than his (+my reaction time) was not able to stop fast enough before hitting him. (I also pushed him into the car in front of him too).

Sad part is, from what I've heard both the GTO and the Silverado will use a similar amount of fuel. Difference is, the Silverado is more practical and useful for more things.

The Silverado probably has the 6.0L Vortec, right? Good, solid engine, but a little hard on fuel. I run a 2006 Sierra at work with the 6.0L, and it's plenty fast and powerful. EDIT: And it's plenty powerful even thought it's a 3500 crew cab long box towing a trailer.

Lose it. It means go crazy. Nuts. Insane. Bonzo. No longer in possession of one's faculties. Three fries short of a happy meal...

Yeah I would get a 6.0 vortech because Imo cummins makes the only decent v8 diesel.

The GTO is a beast though. It is far from ricer. It's a typical muscle car. Take a normal family type car (Holden Monaro) and slam the biggest engine you can (LS2) into it.

To me paying $20,000 for A Hot looking GTO is worth a lot more then paying $70,000 for some fiberclass hunk of crap with the same engine in it known as the corvette.
